F is for Fluorescent

Piggybacking on yesterday's electric eighties post, today's CC ABC is all about neon brights.

Honest, it's a trend! Just see the evidence!
As Gisele and Mary-Kate demonstrate, a little pop of color is very chic!

On the runways, there was MAJOR [thanks, Vicky B - it's seeped into CC's lexicon] neon signage.
